Trains to Rotterdam Centraal

0.6 miles (876 m)

Six centuries of history combined with seven decades of modern architecture combine to make Rotterdam, Holland, one of the most interesting and diverse cities in Europe. People of 180 different nationalities call Rotterdam home. In fact, over half of the residents living in the Rotterdam city centre were not born in The Netherlands and almost three-quarters of businesses in the city are owned by foreign-born citizens. Rotterdam’s multicultural community might have much to do with its location. The city is Europe’s largest seaport, situated on the coast of the North Sea and at the delta of three rivers that lead into Western Europe: The Rhine, The Meuse and the Scheldt. With its efficient and extensive network of waterways, roads and railways, Rotterdam has become known as “The Gateway to Europe.” Near the heart of Rotterdam is the city’s central train station, Rotterdam Centraal. Travelling from Rotterdam city centre to Rotterdam Centraal train station is convenient because local trains, buses, trams, taxis and the metro all go to Rotterdam Centraal. Indeed, the central station gives travellers access to all the attractions of Rotterdam, from Chinatown to the restored Gothic church The Grote of Sint-Laurenskirk

The airport can be reached from the station in 20 minutes via the 33 bus line
